Yep, I think Katie has captured an important distinction.

Currently in the latest WCAG 2.0 Draft "time-dependent presentation" is
defined as below......
<qoute>
Definitions (informative)
time-dependent presentation
(1)A time-dependent presentation is a presentation which
is composed of synchronized audio and visual tracks (e.g., a movie),
OR
(2)a presentation which requires the user to respond interactively at
specific times in the presentation.

.......I think that the (2) is a definition of "response time dependent
presentation", rather than "time-dependent presentation". The response
time issue is very important, but different.
Also, I think it would be a good idea to provide language that includes
other sense modalities (tracks). I realize that it is a bit premature
to include "synchronized smell" and "synchronized vibration" tracks,
but, I think we should have language that covers this eventuality.
